A dog is 85% genetically identical to a human, and humans have only twice as many genes as a worm or a fly. \n\nFor the first time, award-winning science writer Jennifer Ackerman brings together these astonishing discoveries, and by weaving a mesmerising story of heredity, combining both personal memoir with cutting-edge science, she offers an encompassing vision of the impact these findings have on our everyday lives.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252458803544,"sku":"9780747558200","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780747558200.jpg?v=1764801032","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chance-in-the-house-of-fate","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
